The Comic Book Project

In this anthology, which our students have decided to call DUE YESTERDAY Comics, Professors Mike Mosher and Janice Wolff have designed a collaborative project that brought students from English and Art together to create comics.

The process is useful beyond the classroom, as SVSU Art and English students worked together to write and illustrate their stories. Such engagement benefits them as they prepare for the workplace; the project deepens their visual literacy, and will increase their abilities to transfer skills from one academic discipline to another. This collaborative Art and English project fills a gap in students' academic experiences, for no student club or organization provides this kind of experience. Students built skills appropriate to the workplace, working to meet professional deadlines, developing and carrying a project through, which culminated in a product suitable to their employment portfolios.
